The next issue of Charlie Hebdo will be published on February 25 and weekly thereafter, editors have announced.

The new issue will be the first in six weeks after the surviving staff went to print on January 14 - exactly one week after the massacre when 12 people were murdered.

A statement from the editors on the Charlie Hebdo website reads: 'The editorial staff of Charlie Hebdo invite you back on Wednesday February 25th 2015, publication date for our next issue, and thereafter at our normal weekly rhythm.'

Massacre: On Wednesday January 7, Said and Cherif Kouachi stormed the magazine's offices and murdered 12 people, including staff and police officers

The current issue of the magazine, which controversially featured an image of the Prophet Mohammed on the cover, will be available from newsagents until March 10.

On Wednesday January 7, Said and Cherif Kouachi stormed the magazine's offices and murdered 12 people, including staff and police officers.

The following day, Amedy Coulibaly murdered a female police officer before shooting dead four hostages at a kosher delicatessen in Eastern Paris.

In the weeks that followed, the world showed its support for the people of Paris and defiant Charlie Hebdo staff released a survivors' edition seven days on from the attack.

Issues of the magazine, of which about seven million copies were printed, sold out across Paris news kiosks within minutes.

At the end of January, bosses vowed the satirical magazine would be published in the near future, but said staff are emotionally exhausted and still recovering after the massacre that killed their friends.

In recent days, police forces in the UK have been caught asking newsagents which have sold copies of the satirical magazine for details of customers have bought it.

The move has been branded 'entirely unacceptable' by privacy campaigners.
